Charlie at the Westin

Feb 2, 2018

LA has been a trip! It feels like I transplanted my NYC life to LA making stops at the Indie Beauty Expo, Physician’s Formula, Kevyn Aucoin and It Cosmetics for their spring launch parties and also the Shoedazzle x Barbie Style event, which was so fun! This was also the trip where I simultaneously launched my Pretty Connected Camera/Bag strap line. We had an incredible event at Disney with It Cosmetics (I can’t wait to share the photos) and today my friend Mickey Williams put us in a segment for ABC7 Sarasota Suncoast View (dying!). So much to share! But alas all this insanity has kept me away from my computer and I just got to Palm Springs to visit some of my best friends and have some downtime.

However, it wouldn’t be a trip to Palm Springs without a stop at the Westin in Mission Hills. As some of you know almost 2 years ago I rescued Charlie, my senior Pomeranian love of my life from this hotel. He was/is part of their pet adoption program where they invite one rescue to live in their lobby and guests can walk, and hang out with them.

When one dog gets adopted, another goes into the lobby. Charlie was dog #42 and now they are at #101! I absolutely love this hotel and property (you can read more in my original post), we had a lovely lunch on the patio — they even have a dog menu and Charlie had a gourmet lunch.

We had a lovely day! Thank you to the Westin for having us and for all you’ve brought into my life with this little sassy pants, love of my life.

*Win a Trip to Palm Springs!* Did I ever tell you the story of a girl who went on vacation to Palm Springs and came home with a dog? Two years ago I took a @JetBlue flight to Palm Springs✈️, stayed at the @WestinMissionHills and living in the lobby was a little doggy in need of rescuing. That trip was so magical for the mountains, nature, the sound bath, the shopping the food, town... but most of all meeting my best friend. - See where all the magic happened @VisitGreaterPS is giving away 2 @JetBlue tickets to Palm Springs +
